Physical Activity

The early years of a child's life, are the best opportunity for developing life-long physical activity behaviours. The time children spend in care is often the best chance a child may have of getting adequate physical activity in their day.

As part of the Munch & Move Program Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are recommended to be incorporated into services' daily programs, and children should have the opportunity to be active for at least 30% of the daily opening hours.
